Labrusca received criticisms on social media after he reportedly cursed several immigration officials for not giving him balikbayan stamp to extend his stay in the Philippines for more than thirty days.

In a tweet, a certain @mayoroliverdig informed the DFA Chief about the issue being faced by Labrusca who already apologized and admitted that he loses his cool during the said incident.

Unfortunately, Locsin didn’t recognize Labrusca and he even needs to ask some netizens about the identity of the actor.

But another netizen reminded @mayoroliverdig, that Locsin is not the one who handled the Bureau of Immigration.

“Bureau of Immigration is under DOJ not DFA. It used to be a Commission under the office of the President. It was changed to a Bureau of DOJ but they still call the head of the agency as Commissioner.” @tweetmetomcat said.

“No need to get Philippine Visa for a US Citizen. It is the Bureau of Immigration that look into the behavior of the foreigners staying in the country. Hence they can revoke the visa granted by our Embassies & Consulates for whatever reason. Visa is a privilege, not a right.” he added.

“While our immigration officers have been instructed to observe maximum tolerance, it is against the law to disrespect immigration authorities, and violating aliens may be excluded and blacklisted from the Philippines,” Immigration Spokesperson Dana Krizia Sandoval said.

“Showing disrespect to symbols of authority is essentially showing disrespect to the country,” she added.
